A Little Mixed.

Phlla deIpI1a Press.
The Democrats OF Pennsylvania at their
coming convention at Allentown arc going to
have considerable trouble find out what they
think about the tariff. Some of them don't
think anything about it; others think the matter
ought to be befuddled so that the average voter
can it in any light he chooses others prefer a
rather positive protection declaration wniie
others are determined that the party shall take
a position exactly in accord with that occupied
by President Cievelsnd, in favor OF tari1 Tor
revenue only. Upon this centers ABOUT ali the
intert st in the cony ention.

The best thing that can be said for Henry
George is that the Socialists denounce him
and his schemes. This is but negative
praise, however. They denounce him be-
cause, while advocating theories similar to
their own, he is not yet ready to see them
carried to their logical outcome in practice.

CAN'T some of the American capitalists who
are starting banks and building railroads over

money to get married on? 1t seems pity to

The attention of Brother Wafterson Is called
to this state of things: The total vote IN the
State of Kentucky is 5000 more than the heavi-
est vote ever polled in that State in past
years, and yet the Democratic vote was nearly
5000 less than Cleveland's vote in 1884. What

DURING the last campaign it was charged
by the Journal that the State debt had been
increased considerably more than 81, coo, 900
by the Democratic administration then in of
fee and that the State finances were other
wise in precarious and alarming condition.
The charge was denied and denounced as a
campaign lie. The Democratic State officers
kept the books under close guard, and not only
refused to make true statement of the State
finances themselves but refused to let any
person have access to the books for the pur-
pose. Their policy was to conceal the facts
and the true condition of the Treasury, to
deny all charges of Encouragement and to de-
mand the proof. AS the proof was in their
custody and practically under lock and key.
it could not very well be furnished. But the
facts in regard to the gross Encouragement of
the State finances are gradually coming out.
Enough has already been discovered to fully
sustain the Journals charges in the late cam
more and worse to come. A statement pub
ished in the Journal yesterday gave some
facts and figures in regard to certain phases
of the affair which have but recently been dis
covered. They the line as pre-
vious discoveries, and go to prove degree of
recklessness in Democratic management that
is little less than criminal and the unex-
planned features of which justify fear that
still worse disclosures may follow.

HUNTING A RODENT.
why One Woman ReJoiced Over tho Pres
ence Of Rat in Her Room.
rn,,WcIo rSnuv;nv1

lDul6lU NUuElcIsJ
The recent experience of well-known
East Buffalo stock man, as told by himself,
is calculated to enlist interest and SYM
pathy. A couple of his teeth became bad
ly liberated, and the way in which they
ached was enough to make cast-iron
man howl, and deep were the potations
imbibed by the sufferer in this instance,
but to no effect as the intensity OF the pain
counteracted the soothing qualities OF the
benzine. His estimable wife pitied him for
his misfortune, and viewed with anxious
concern the industry with which he kept
filing up. He betook himself to the dem
tist, but that functionary declared that the
tusks could not be yanked until the ulcer
tion had broken. Nothing could be done,
and finding comfort nowhere else, the vic
tim about ten o'clock in the even ing raced
home. He entered the house by the kitch-
en- side doors and as he did
so in rushed a rat Of enormous size.
Here was something to divert his
attention from his own misery,
and in a twinkling he picked up heavy
poker and pursued the rodent. The rat
ran through the dining-room and par
| lor and into a downstairs bedroom,
where his better half, in her robe de mutt,
4
had Just mounted chair to turn off the
gas. She didn't happen to see the invad-
ing animal, and her CONSERVATION can be
imagined when she did see her seemingly
frenzied husband bound in, with boots,

EXTENSIVE FARMS.
Unwieldly Ventures That Have Failed to
Attain Creditable Success.

Unwieldly Ventures That Have Failed to
Attain Creditable Success.
Most gigantic farming operations
have failed to attain creditable success.
They have proved unwieldly ventures.
If the seasons would regularly turn out
favorable, the teams prove effective,
men likewise, all remaining well dur
ing the working season, tools not break
or otherwise get out of repair when
most needed, and a hundred other
things work just right, large farms, il
under competent management, would
more frequently than now turn out
favorably. But when we talk of grass.
farming, the case is very different.
Land reasonably we'll suited to grass
may be put into good shape for carry
ing this crop from year to year, giving
no other trouble than the opening
Of the gate, that the farm stock may
go in and Craze. All the grass that
grows upon a given surface, iftaken of
by the stock itself, necessitates the leav-
ing of all the droppings upon the land.
This will ordinarily keep up the fertility
of given piece of land, and this kind
of large farming can be carried on
economically, with little labor or risk.
and all care is dispensed with, except
to collect the rent. But large farming
operations have not generally, in fact
very rarely, been carried on in this
manner AS all farmers know, the
labor required upon all portions of a
farm devoted to grain growing, is bur-
densome, and in case of bad weather,
the burden is liable to be added to in
definitely. Then, again, whether the
weather be good or bad, all inducement
| is taken away when wheat is sold al
seventy-five cents and corn at forty
| cents, with one-third Of these
prices off for shipping expenses
So, under the drawbacks men
toned, nothing can be surer thar
that the more extensively a man farms
raising grain to haul to the station tol
shipment, the worse off he is. 1t is :
question not sufficiently considered
whether, when land has beer
partly worn out, growing grain, j
would not be wise to plant to fores
trees, and whether a portion, at least
of the farm devoted to this use woult
not, in valuable growing timber, adj
more to the value per acre, to sell o
i leave as an inheritance, than could b
reached through any other plan what
ever, estimating outlay of labor ant
cash. No man is likely to properl,
manure large area Of titled land
neither is such an area likely to b
titled with care. When the yield begin
to lessen it is well to call halt, AM
| straightway seed down to grass.

But Few Succeed in Business.
[Dry Goods Chronicle ]

An old merchant said years ago that not
more than one per cent. of the best class of
merchants succeed without failing in
Philadelphia. Not more than two per
cent. of the merchants of New York ulti-
mately retire on an independence after
having submitted to the usual ordeal OF
failure, and not more than three out of
every hundred merchants in Boston ac-
quire an independence. In Cincinnati, out
